Accompanied by his camera, artist Jon Linton embarks on a soul-searching journey to grapple with the harsh realities of addiction and homelessness after losing a friend and colleague, offering a poignant exploration of the unhoused experience.
By compassionately observing the culture's true social conditions, Jon finds a deep pathway to empathy through connection with gestures as simple as asking and using people's names. Without an ounce of intent and purely through organic outflow, Jon became an activist and advocate, finding donors, partners and supporters through the most improbable sets of circumstances under the simple banner of let's BE BETTER HUMANS.
